If you feel like you’re working really hard to help others, but no one seems to be appreciating your efforts, don’t think that gives you the right to stop helping people! It doesn’t. After all, if helping others were your true motivation, then recognition would be irrelevant. A good deed is a reward in itself. If that’s not the case, and you’re honest about the fact that you just want the positive feedback, so be it. But you’re missing out by not cultivating your more altruistic side.

Frazzled by the crazy pace of your life? Try a yoga class. Your body and mind will benefit from this healthy practice. If you meet someone who looks good in workout gear, that’s an added bonus!

Everyone knows that variety is the spice of life, and you need a spicier life than most. It’s a good time to plan a trip or explore some new aspect of life with your partner, who may just be along for the ride.

You’re sick of sticking to your prescribed list. You just need to loosen up every now and then, and you’re about due for a splurge you can’t afford. Confine it to a flea market, a yard sale or the dollar bin of the toy store. Consider it damage control.
